    Umm, you don't need a humidifier for your pac-man. You need to get a spray bottle or misting system to raise the humidity in the cage, not the entire house!

    I wouldn't re-use it just in case. They are super cheap at the dollar store and they seem to last a long time for me.

    I really like high red ornate pacman frogs, but I am just going to go to Petsmart to buy my tank and other supplies, and I may buy a pacman there. Though, I have another question, at Petsmart, do they have all their pacman frogs in one tank?; or do they have the different breeds in different tanks?

    I always used a spray bottle from the dollar store for my pac man. Worked just fine. Fogger systems seem to be pricey but I never really looked into getting one.
    Pac man species: Cranwelli, Ornata, Cornuta, Aurita, Joazeirensis, Stolzmanni, Testudo, Calcarata and may be others... The first three are the most popular kinds or at least the most widely available but each has its own positives and drawbacks. For example, The Cornutas are cooler looking with the big horns than the Ornata (in my opinion) but they tend to be more challenging to care for. I am not an expert on this though so maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

    Those weren't my ornatas, that was just a picture I found to show the false eye spots. They are gorgeous though! Your little guy is adorable Grabibus! Do you have a name for him yet? Also, I haven't been on the forum in a while so how is Graboune the pyxie?

    If you dont want to get a spray bottle just sprinkle some water out of cup ( treated water). You really need to get a digital hygrometer and thermometer to make sure everything is on point.

    Frog wise. Cranwelli is the cheapest in green/brown really good eaters just not big as ornate. I really like my red ornate and I have to watch my hand if i make a quick. Cornutas are very cool looking and not picky eaters if captive bred. In the wild they eat frogs and a lot of original cornutas that were sold were wild caught so thats where that came from. My favorite right now is the caatinga. Its more rare and a little more expensive but i like them a lot.

    The fantasy frogs are cool and I havent seen any that had health problems. Theyre just sterile from what I understand. There are so many morphs mostly cranwelli types to choose from. The only bad thing ive heard about is what is called a green apple which is a cross between a cranwelli and caatinga they have a lot of health issues from what I read. Hope all that helps

    Graboune is very well. But I sold her because, I was a little bit frustated to see her only 1 or 2 months per year. 10 months burried per year.
    But she is stil so nice and she is still an eating machine.
    I sold her to one guy who is used to care reptiles and amphibians.
